The "Rum Diary" star, 48, came under fire for comments he made in an interview published Tuesday in Vanity Fair, in which he compared sitting for a photo shoot with a sexual assault. A day later, he's apologizing for it.

"I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way," Depp said in a statement received by Huffington Post. "I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling."
